Sand and fire, two essential elements so that the glass craftsman can blow the molten material to produce an object that is transparent, solid and fragile at the same time. Such is the paradox of this material worked by man for several millennia, both craftsman and artist, he has perfected the art to obtain a refined production. A daily material, glass is present everywhere, it was quite different in the past when it was reserved for an aristocratic or religious elite. The exhibition proposed by the Arkéos Museum-Park will accompany you in the discovery of the different artisanal techniques of glassmaking through its diversity of production and its history.
